Bright Lights, Loud Voices, and the Need to Hide

After a long day of fluorescent lights, clanging HVAC systems, and noisy coworkers, Ethan, a 27-year-old engineer, walked into his parents’ living room to find the TV blaring and overlapping voices. His body snapped. He yelled, stormed off, and hid in his darkened bedroom — ashamed and shaken by a meltdown he couldn’t control.

In this first-person narrative episode, Blaze shares Ethan’s inner experience of sensory overload and the truth he’s learning: meltdowns aren’t failures. They’re signs of a nervous system overwhelmed.

You’ll hear:

What a meltdown feels like from the inside
Why hiding isn’t rejection, but an attempt to reset
Small steps, Ethan and his family are making toward a sensory-safe connection

This story is for anyone who’s ever needed to retreat, only to feel shame afterward. You’re not broken. You’re overwhelmed.
